[quoteWhy not use xz from MinGW itself? See https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20xz/ Otherwise use 7-Zip.][/quote] Okay, the details are that MSYS xz beta is available as a bzip2 archive. Also, xz utils supplies its own source code as gzip archives. MinGW supplies its xz utils binaries (and sources) as .lzma archives. The way I installed the MinGW xz Utils package (which is admittedly not the easiest way) is to run configure and make (install) within MSYS using xz utils' own source code. I guess it would be alright to wait at least until xz utils is finally released into production. Now I am configuring emacs to automatically handle the xz and lzma (and txz and tlz) file extensions. By the way, I installed an MSYS update for bash but got errors using its own version of tar as well as the Gnuwin version. Finally I tried djgpp \`djtarx\' and it worked.
